Parts even saying that raise questions for which I don't have answers .
I have a 92' clone in 45 Colts with a .496 chamber that tapers to .484 at the mouth into a .450 groove .
It just irritates me no end that it is so hard on the brass , even more so than the BlackHawk companion.
The barrel is threaded .890-40 or 20×@1.75 if I'm remembering what I read an hour ago right . Reaming the chamber any smaller than .600 will make a paper thin sleeve or precariously thin barrel shank .
With the insert epoxied in at 1.6-7" and pistol chambered it should remove any blow back issues"under" the liner .
Writing it out loud makes this sound even more foolish.
Cons of a rebarrel .
I have to pay someone to do it .
I have a bid of just over twice the cost of the carbine.
It'll take a yr to get it back .
If I buy a lathe to do it myself....... That's just as bad idea , I'll either be an addict saving money hand over fist or do the 3-4 projects 75% of as nice as a pro , and it'll languish to death .
Pros .
The chamber will be right .
I'll have the 20" short mag "heavy" barrel aesthetic I wanted.
The 1-32" twist will be replaced with a 1-16" .
It'll be a correct.452 groove .
It'll be chamber matched to the BH .
It'll get rid of the groove dip under the front dove tail.
